#1 The $39-40K (which I believe is HIGHER than that right now) is an empty shell, no motor trans, etc. Figure at least $55-60K before complete (often WAY more than that).

The the question becomes:

What kind of Cobra can I get for $55 to $60K? Answer: A dam nice replica that will most likely be FAR better appointed than the Shelby for the same money.

There is ONE thing you WON'T get in a replica for the same money, the CSX number from Shelby. To some that number is worth a TON of money, major bragging rights to some, to others doesn't seem to be worth the extra dollars it cost. Your call.

I would really like to have a CSX number on MY Cobra! But for LESS money than what the CSX would cost I can get a kick butt and take names replica that will be "cooler" and "nicer" than the Shelby. But alas, it won't be a Shelby, it will only be a "replica". Which one do YOU want?
